After reading up on all the reviews on Zomato and visiting this place for lunch earlier this month in Indiranagar, all I can say is this is one hyped up place.
The first issue I had with this place was that there was no elevator. Having just got on medication for high blood pressure this was extremely inconveniencing for me to climb the long flight of stairs.
My friend and I met up here for lunch. The place has a breezy outdoorsy set up. We started with the herb crumbed onion rings.
This was crispy well on the outside but so chewy. This came with a salsa which was tasty. My friend however, wouldn’t eat more than two. We’ve had better onion rings.
This was followed by Asian appetizers – broccoli and water chestnuts which is not too different from the kurkure we make at home except that the water chestnuts added a nice unique twist and crunch to it.
For the mains we decided to have the immunity booster salad – broccoli, baby spinach, orange slices, pomegranate and lettuce, topped with red wine vinaigrette and roasted almonds. This was a big letdown. While the ingredients mentioned were present, they were just a smattering of them. The whole bowl was filled with lettuce leaves and more lettuce leaves. I usually love most salads but I personally felt it wasn’t worth the Rupees 245/- I paid for it.
Dessert was chocolate fudge cake and this at least ended on a sweet note. Nothing to complain or go wow about though.
Service was okayish. Nobody asked us anything unless we called for them or refill of water in the glass. The items on the menu is on the pricey side.
I’ve always maintained that the benchmark of any great restaurant relies on two things – will I visit again? And will I tell everyone about it?
Nope.
Overall rating: 2.5 – maybe one can try the other dishes and get lucky or maybe not.
First impression no-no. Extra point given because dessert saved the day.
Ratings for reviews:
1 – No! No! No!
2- Just about average.
3 –Good. Can give it a try.
4- Great!!
5 – Yes! Yes! Yes! And I’ll tell all about it.
